Account requiredWho wins this work, and what it pays
Comparable awards under NAICS 334510 at this agency — the incumbent, what they were paid, when their period of performance ends, and the real pricing distribution rather than the headline number. From public federal award records.
The Defense Logistics Agency, Troop Support, Philadelphia, PA Medical Directorate intends to award a Firm Fixed Price, Sole Source contract under the authority of FAR 12.102(a) to Carahsoft Technology Corp, on behalf of Nuance, address 11493 Sunset Hills Road, Reston, VA 20190, for the procurement of the following brand name Server equipment, software licensing and associated incidental services Product: PowerScribe 360 Remote Migration, software licenses This award for brand name software licenses and incidental services will be placed on a sole source basis with Carahsoft, on behalf of Nuance, as the following circumstance in FAR 12.102(a) applies: only one source is available to provide the services required at the level of quality required because the services are unique or highly specialized. The software licensing is for the PowerScribe 360 brand name voice dictation systems already in place at the required sites ( Brooke Army Medical Center, Walter Reed National Medical Center, Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center, Evans Army Community Hospital, Womack Army Medical Center, Blanchfield Army Community Hospital, Madigan Army Medical Center, Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, Naval Medical Center San Diego, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, Tripler Army Medical Center, Brian D. Allgood Army Community Hospital, Travis Air Force Base). The absence of software licensing, migration and incidental services will cause significant work-stoppage for voice dictation for radiology systems. Thus, only the exact brand name licenses and incidental services will meet the customer's needs. The estimated value of this contract is $ 177,503.10. Delivery schedule will be discussed prior to issuing the award. The anticipated award date is September 8, 2026.
